Punch_King_Fitness Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect on balances outstanding at year end. The Company evaluates the collectability of the receivables and records an allowance for credit losses representing its estimate of the expected losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the receivables. The receivables are written off against the allowance for credit losses when the account is deemed to be uncollectible.
Subscription Receivable
Subscription receivables are stated at cost, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, management evaluates subscription receivable balances and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections and current credit considerations.
